about what additional data do you talk? are you referring to Z-fields? and using SAP standard given import methods? SAP import programs do not know your Z-fields. Recordings can be used for Z-field migrations.

It depends on which business object you mean. For example sales orders.

The standard program RVINVB10 does not support additional fields.

The BAPI SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 does allow them - see OSS notes 143580/150242/509898/700795 for help in setting up the new fields in the input structures.

It is also possible to do the load in more than one step.

Step 1 Create the data withouit the extra fields.

Step 2 Use a recording to add the extra fields via the update transaction

Hi John and Jurgen,

Thanks a lot for the response.

Actually, By additional data I mean in my requirement, I need to upload the Purchase Requisition through LSMW which i can do by calling a BAPI and can create/upload PR header with items into the SAP system. But with the header and items, i need to also upload the Material characteristics which are configured for a material.

So, I will have three structures:

1. PR header

2. PR item

3. Material Characteristics

So, for structures 1 and 2 , i can upload with the help of BAPI and here structure 3 is additional data which i need to upload with

the PR data.

Please suggest.

Thanks and BR,

Sahil
